OLIVIA

So annoyingly perfect.

SLUMP

Weirdly enough, considering fashion week's just happened, I am feeling shockingly uninspired. I don't really know what's wrong with me, but I know I don't like it. A large part of it I think is down to location, like when I'm in London/Paris/NYC, I nearly always put in more of an effort. Unfortunately for moi, fashion-speaking anyway, I am in Bristol, which I personally do not find the most fashionably inspirational place in the world. This is largely because I would say 75% of all Bristol students would just love to be alternative, but this desire to be alternative has resulted in them all being alternative in the same way. Kind of defeats the point non? Not that I don't love the look of high tops, weird vintage jumpers, skinny jeans, barbours and weird cloths tied into people's hair......ok I actually hate it, so sue me. The monotony of seeing all these people who a few years ago were dressed in ra-ra skirts, Ralph Lauren polo shirts and pashminas, is making me fashionably-depressed. So here are some fashion-spirit lifters. I feel sooo much better now.

PS. Obviously I don't mean all Bristol students, so no offence...

BLUE

I've been in the worst mood today. A man passed me in the street and said, "Cheer up darlin'". Yes, it's never good when you're walking down the street frowning, but um, how about LEAVE ME ALONE STRANGER. And yes, I think I have anger management issues...

ARGH.

HUCKLEBERRY FRIEND

I have probably watched Breakfast at Tiffany's about 50 times since I first saw it at the age of seven-ish. I'm not saying this is a good thing, especially since it means I will have spent just over 90 hours of my life watching it (Ok, that's actually bad...and quite lame), but it is probably my favourite film. I mean Audrey is just heaven, it's set in New York, it was made during one of the most chic eras of fashion ever, George Peppard is in it (enough said), Cat the cat is the only cat I like,  and Moon River is hauntingly beautiful and makes me cry. I cannot watch it enough. Here are some of my favourite looks/scenes:

Whilst watching Breakfast at Tiffany's last night, me and my friend noticed a definite similarity between Audrey Hepburn and Olivia Palermo. If Holly Golightly was around in the 21st century, I imagine she'd dress just like Olivia.
